Rather knackered...

Dear Nicky,

I couldn't sleep last night so I was pretty tired today. Still, I think I comported myself with almost all my usual style and grace. I spent the morning getting presents for June's birthday. Tomorrow we're going out to Granny's, who's hosting a party in the afternoon. Mom took you out to the Great Swamp, where you guys saw a big snake. Tonight, shortly after I put you to bed you were inexplicably frightened of something, but quickly recovered under my my reassuring ministrations.

Love,
Dad
